This, from The Washington Post...

Winer credited the math, science and computer science magnet program at Montgomery Blair as a difference-maker, too, as well as teacher James R. Schafer, whom he called “one of the best teachers in the universe.”

Well, if arguably[b] the most brilliant kid in Montgomery County[/b] believes he is well served by the teachers at Blair, safe to say the other magnet kids are as well.[/quote]

Really??  http://connectedcommunities.us/showthread.php?t=67272

Lets not get carried away.  This was a kid who go help outside Blair in Physics.  The Intel award reflects that and only that.
I know because I am a teacher.[/quote]

I don't understand your point. The article made it clear that he worked with a UMD physics professor. But the parents and Michael all commented on how he thrived at Blair. Why cannot it be both? [/quote]

I don't want to lose my job by explaining.  Show me what physics (that's his subject, right?) courses are taught at Blair that would have this kids research.

He thrived at Blair and would have thrived anywhere.[/quote]
